Acrylics on Canson Mi-teintes Tex paper (with a hint of coloured pencil and pan pastels)
This was my second portrait using acrylics, and was actually a little more challenging than the first because of the dark skin tones from the cast shadows. I always prefer doing softer, lighter skin tones, but couldn't resist using this beautiful reference photo of my Goddaughter Steph, who actually turned 18 last week. How time flies!!! This portrait will the first used as a sample for my painted portrait listings.

So beautiful Karen. Love the portrait and what a stunning little girl.
Your work is truly the best.
She is a gorgeous girl (now she is a young lady) and thank you for your very kind words!!! :)
Her dress and her hairstyle remind me of the 1940's images I've seen. Truly breathtaking, Karen. Beautiful!
